Renee Powell Honored with Charlie Sifford Award Renee Powell was honored at the World Golf Hall of Fame ceremonies prior to The PLAYERS Championship in March with the inaugural Charlie Sifford Award. Renee has received numerous awards over the years, but this one was especially important to her. Charles Sifford was a long-time family friend of both Renee and her father. Sifford experienced every roadblock, insult and hardship imaginable as he became the first African-American to earn a PGA Tour card in 1961. “It’s somebody that I knew personally and to receive (this award) means a lot because of knowing both the public Charlie and private Charlie. A personal family friend, it’s very touching.” The inaugural Charlie Sifford Award is presented by Southern Companies to honor recipients for their spirit in advancing diversity in golf. The Chaplain Partnership Golf Outing Chaplain Partnership will conduct a Corporate Partner Golf Outing, September 26th, to benefit the organization so that they can continue to provide spiritual care to patients and families. Throughout the past two years, during the COVID-19 pandemic, these chaplains have been in the rooms of suffering patients and families struggling to cope with the extreme grief. Your participation in this golf event will help provide continued spiritual support to the families of those suffering from illness, loss, and life changing events. It will be held at historic Lakewood Country Club in Westlake. To register and find out more visit: https://chaplainpartnership.org/golf-benefit/ Ohio Golf Journal
